Hey, I'm the Sourcegraph CTO. Appreciate the critical feedback here. I suspect that Cody is using "keyword context", which is our fallback when we don't have an index on Sourcegraph that Cody can use (we need to do a better job of conveying when this happens to users). Would you mind sending me a screenshot of Cody not doing a good job of answering a question / fetching the wrong context? You can email me at beyang@sourcegraph.com or DM me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/beyang).

I was hoping it would just tap into VS Code's knowledge of my project structure and index what it needed to automatically

From what I saw on the Discord after getting my invite, people were making requests in the chat for specific github repos to get indexed... is that how it works? So for projects with dependencies which have been indexed I might get better results? And I need to get my own project indexed too?
